Hamas issued a fierce statement on Thursday in reaction to Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s remarks during Holocaust Remembrance Day, drawing a highly inflammatory comparison between Gaza and a Nazi concentration camp.
“Gaza today is the ‘Auschwitz’ of the 21st century, where the ashes are Palestinian and the perpetrator is Zionist,” the terror organization declared in its statement.
“Those who weep for the victims of Nazism are now the masters of genocide in our time,” it added.
The message appeared to be a direct rebuttal to Netanyahu’s speech at Yad Vashem, where he drew stark parallels between Hamas and the Nazi regime responsible for the Holocaust.
